If that approach doesn't work, you can perhaps try a market solution: start another YG which *is* under the control of the state LP's designated representatives, and invite members of the old hijacked one to join the one one. (Or selected ones; you wouldn't want to invite the hijackers, after all.). If members post to both, the arbitrary banning and abusive messages present in the old one and absent in the new one would tend to inspire people to leave the old one. The ideal outcome would be for the folks at Yahoo Groups to quickly and with little hassle restore control of the YG to legitimate representatives of the state LP. But if that doesn't happen, there's always Plan B. -Eric -- Eric S.
